Therapy is a form of self-preservation. We live in a society where we're constantly pressured to be productive and push through discomfort, but what if you didn't have to? What if you had the ability to slow down and sit with your emotions? We can hold space for the parts of ourselves that want to be seen and validated. We can learn to be still and connected in every moment without avoiding the hardships we've been through. I'd like to help you on your journey to self-preservation.

Our past experiences, especially childhood experiences, directly influence who we are today, either consciously or unconsciously. A trained, empathetic therapist can help you unravel some of those past experiences to figure out why we do something and then intentionally do something that brings in healing. I believe that effective therapy can help someone choose a better future and to get out of the shadows of their past. The work can be hard, but if done with the right therapist, it can feel rewarding and enlightening.

I can fluently provide counseling in English & Spanish. I like using a non-pathological and teamwork approach where the clients are the experts of their own lives. I specialize in working with individuals, families, couples, and children, focusing on helping them reach their desired goals. To do so, I use the following evidence-based perspectives: CBT, DBT, EMDR, Gottman (Couples), Play Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have noticed that clients seek more self-improvement after graduating from our therapy work. We would be a great fit if you are highly motivated to do the job.

My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, build values-based coping strategies, and embark on a journey of personal growth. If you’re ready to find a way to better manage your distress and pain, you’ve found the right place. In this work, I've found one of the best ways to work through emotional pain is to first allow yourself to feel it. I often work to help clients change their relationship with their emotions from one of avoidance to acceptance. I work with an attachment lens, and see value in attending to emotional injuries and pain, while also exploring the influence of early experiences.

Under enough stress, all humans make adaptations to survival. These survival strategies do a great job when they are first learned, but when continued outside of the context of their creation, they can reenact + reinforce patterns that are no longer helpful. It’s in this understanding that we work together to identify where patterns began, what behaviors were learned for emotional and physical survival + how we can create new ways of interacting in the world that feel more whole.

Therapy can be seen as a catalyst for us to gain insight into the aspects of our lives that we may be overlooking. We often create subconscious strategies to manage our pain, anxiety, and trauma. Sometimes those strategies are helpful. Sometimes less so. Realizing that some of our strategies aren't as helpful can be the catalyst to pursuing therapy.

Attachment-based Therapists

Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?

Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.

What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?

Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.

How long does attachment-based therapy last?

Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.

Does attachment-based therapy work?

Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
